Hey! I'm on the Reid-a-tanic too.
Here...let me scoot over a bit...there...you can climb aboard too.
You have a life vest? Good for you....me thinks some choppy waters ahead....
But who knows...after the storm,it could be smooth sailing....right into the sunset.....

I know how you feel....I'm on that sinking ship too....and still hanging on for dear life, since I can't even swim!

I fully expect to go all the way down with the ship, but that's how I'll be feeling anyway, so why not, eh? Although, I supposed we should wait till after Tuesday's ATFR till we send up flares for the rescue ships.

ETA: If she would pick Kip, though, I'd swim for the life boats. Love Kip, too.

Please posters do not call Reid St. Reid. As a Catholic, it upsets me; also Reid is Jewish so he cannot become a saint.

We that love Reid do see his faults, we know he is not a saint, we just like him for whatever our reasons are.

Other than that I enjoy all the posts even if I don't agree with some.

On the sinking ship with all the other Reidsters hoping for a miracle but wearing my black lifevest just in case.

I think there's nothing wrong with calling this guy St Reid. You would agree it's much creative than pig, gross, shark, demon etc. Some people are happy sporting unflattering avatars of their most hated contestant. Nobody is crying and saying their offended by that. St Reid is tame and a very clever and apt title I think.

I just think that it reveals an uncomfortably insecure side to choose the guy who came on the show with a GF, left to deal with it and misled her about it. Jillian has shown some self-esteem issues this season. IMO, she has no reason to have these issues.....but she seems to have some anyway. By choosing the cad who lied to her about something she cared about - the guy who took away from her the control that she wanted and deserved in the situation - she is going with her insecure persona. I don't like it at all.

There's an interview here somewhere with Jillian herself saying he was a funny drunk. Not that he was funny when he'd had a few - that he was a funny drunk.
